If I do this, you all must contribute to my snippet library

Seriously: there are enough people who do not even know how to contribute to CPAN. Centralization can be a good thing! If I need some extra functions I visit CPAN. If I'd have the time to contribute some good code to the perl community, I'd post it here and maybe later make a module of it. CPAN is one place for everyone to check.

There have been some recent discussions about improving modules and their organization. To me, this seems to be a more valuable approach than designing a new "snippet" system.

Where could I use your new system? I'm quite convinced, most of my customers' webspace providers would not install it. They have lots of standard modules installed though. So even if I'd agree that I "must use it", I would not be able to.
